Before mounting, you must set you focusing swith to manual mode, even you can damage your lens mechanism. You must be very carefull when mount or unmount this hood to/from lens Good but cheap product, ideal for begginers.

Some marring (like scratches) inside the lens hood, possibly due to handling or packaging of the item. But doesn't affect its intended use. If you were thinking of the original Canon lens hood, this is a no brainee purchase. Unless you are one who only buys authentic accessories, this item is a great alternative. Read more

la unica contra es que primero hay que poner el filtro y despues el parasol, entonces para cambiar los filtros hay que sacar el parasol primero y eso puede resultar molesto, pero apesar de eso es un muy buen producto. recomendable! i would recomend this lens hood to my friends Read more

Great for using on my 50mm fixed focal length lens. Build quality is good; it's a piece of plastic and Canon won't make them sturdier than this one. Easy to screw on the lens.

Build quality is good; it's a piece of plastic and Canon won't make them sturdier than this one. Easy to screw on the lens. None Bayonet type fitting would be nice, but then they would have to supply a converter from the canon lens screw fitting to a bayonet type fitting. But this would also be the case when using the original Canon one. If you need a cheap and good alternative for the expensive Canon Lenshood this is the one to buy. Of course it could also be used on other lens types as long as it has a 52mm filter thread. Read more

It's a lens hood that works on a Canon 50mm lens. It's not as high of quality as a the OEM Canon hood, and the price seems very steep for what it is. It screws on to the lens, and does not allow for a filter to be attached, though you can screw it into a filter. Compared to a normal hood on a is...It's a lens hood that works on a Canon 50mm lens. It's not as high of quality as a the OEM Canon hood, and the price seems very steep for what it is. It screws on to the lens, and does not allow for a filter to be attached, though you can screw it into a filter. Compared to a normal hood on a lens that is designed for hoods, this was a bit disappointing. It cumbersome to attach and use when you are on the go, but if you need a hood for your 50mm this will do the trick.

Same size as the Canon ES-62 (with the hood adapter 62). One piece unlike the Canon version which is the hood and an adapter to mount the hood to the Canon EF 50mm 1.8 II.

One piece unlike the Canon version which is the hood and an adapter to mount the hood to the Canon EF 50mm 1.8 II. Works exactly like the Canon version. Cheaper then the Canon version by about $20 or so. As previously mentioned due to the design if you want to use any filters with the hood you need to have the filter on the lens first, then screw the hood onto the lens. You also have to be careful if you put the lens cap on the hood itself, the fit is a little lose and a good jostle of the camera can cause the cap to fall off. Overall for the price I would recommend this hood to all my friends. If the one I have now were to break I would definitely purchase another as a replacement before i purchase the Canon ES-62.

It is really cheaper than Canon brand original (and I really can't understand why Canon don't ship their lenses with hood - Canon, it is just a piece of plastic damage!).

It fit the hole in front of a no...It is really cheaper than Canon brand original (and I really can't understand why Canon don't ship their lenses with hood - Canon, it is just a piece of plastic damage!). It fits very well to Canon EF 50mm F1.8 lens do its job. My first concern was about lens cap. It fit the hole in front of camera (I've uploaded a pictuce) but has no fixation and can drop anytime (I don't want to loose the original Canon cap so I will buy another to use with hood).
But the worst is to discover that inside hood there is no screw available to attach filters. Of course you can attach a haze or UV filter and attach lens to it (since all filter I know has outside screw for combine filter) but if you use polarizer filter (that turns to find best set) you will end turn the hood I don't know if this is good since this lens is not USM and accidentally turn the focus ring with AF engaged. Because the lack of screw to attach filter and grip the cap I set the Usefulness Rating to 3. Refers to this other hood: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14626 a little more expensive I know, but with internal screw (at least in the picture). If you use polarizer I would recommend you take the risk and pay more for this other filter (just in case). It is cheap and worth even with cons I described. With another cap I will not care about loose it since hood does not grip it. But I really care to keep my original Canon lens cap. The pictures associated with this product is not really from it. Please, refer to users picture to a better illustration. Read more

They're aren't any. At all. This is absolutely perfect. The hoods that are OEM are amazingly expensive. I've had people try to tell me that if you spend so much on the lens, why not on a hood?

Becuase this is a perfect low cost alternative to the other brand. This is one of those things that you think you need and when you get it, you know you did. If you own the 50mm 1.8, get this, now. Sure, you can't store it on lens, but that is the design of the lens, not the hood. Read more
